play

what I hear inside. Jamie says that I perhaps can.. well he thinks I can. I think it is similar to drawing. I stand near the green doors and draw within the squares of the silhouette of the window .. the dead posh disco 'poster'.  I talk to steve and izzy in the bar where I draw people playing pool. I very rarely go in there on a monday. I bought a coke. In a glass bottle it was. There are 3 in this room now I think. I can't be sure because I have not checked. Tom says that he told maria that I have literature for her from friday night. I found something on the bus. I think he might come to life drawing and write. I do hope so. I hear Moloko. Motivation is happening. Not too sure about what for yet. I want to progress at something.. perhaps a drawing. I want it to change perhaps that's what I mean. I looked on the blogs of other people , I think simon's looking at his arty link things. I thought some were great. My reviews are short. I don't know much to write. Steve says 'I liked it.' -asked me what else.. did not come to mind at the time what I had written. I do remember writing this site on his hand. We discussed work and sleep and time and travel and exhibitions. ON SATURDAY I SAW SOME WORK BY CONOR HARRINGTON 'WEEKEND WARRIORS' AT LAZARIDES.
I just looked at some picturesofwalls on a website for about 15 minutes.

peel

ht


I just remembered that I have orange peel in my bag. It's not from an orange but a clementine. It is a bag that I wore in the Tate modern today. I seem to go there with Maria. I loved looking and touching things today and jumping around shouting and talking to myself and enjoying spaces environments and the world seemed to be streaming so much to my person through sounds, motion, images. Ok .. back to the bag. i wore it on my back ,. the reason i mention this is that a sign in the tate modern said that rucksacks had to be left downstairs. I did not leave my bag downstairs.. i also read a sign , well probably many many throughout the course of the day... one inparticular was this one...nothing particularly i want to say on the matter..I may put it here


one that i did... umm../ I loved the squiggle light on this front.......just under these words





Rosie too did like the feel. That clementine had two stickers. We discussed the Juan exhibition quite loudly on the bus that goes underground on wheels... tempted not to talk about it because there is so much more to say, oh well. Perhaps. aaarhg..things i want to talk about. maybe a list will be good.. then if i don't get round to it, you can remind me to talk about them please anyone who reads this so i can write some more on the topics. Oh, also, If you want me to write garbage on any particular topic or . Write to me or text to me or email. or say face to face some action. Tom could not talk about the exhibition Painting of modern life over the my maria phone as there was too much. It had to be face to face. I want a picture of him here. I'll just go ask him i think if it is ok. I think we need the list now.

back to the bag.> I stored pins in a flap pocket. I liked some words but i can't remember what they are. I remember being worried about the lack of coherence in my texts (not phone ones., just generally in the world). I think it was sometime this week or last. Something about a feeling that I may not understand it... like made up words and mixing with drawing..but in the lecturey room on friday just gone.. yesterday I just kept thinking that it really does not matter, just like most of what I do...kind of incidental. Those pins. They stabbed me in the back. I feel like getting my dictionary and writing my experience of the words and what day they make me think of or what dance i do in my head when they jumble of sense.
I think i'll start with this list. this list. It can be partly repetition too. and hall.. yes that the objects themselves i feel are always different even though they look the same.. the maths what does not much involve numbers. cheese is not cheese. this list is not this list. each one is different. it's like making marks with language and ideas. they, even if they look the same.. are not..they are always different perhaps in the mind too. all these are different. insert some sort of picture here.. oh off track again.. this list. It has come to my attention that these things are generally the stuff that interests me or things i have found interesting.. not in a corny kind of way.. It's the stuff and bits that make me smile inside outside with the warmest of glances. we are plastic spoons. you can suggest more to go in the list. or if you don't think it's right.. tell me. We need to talk about art. That last sentence was not my view, it
I talked about how my writing was in my letter for james. I would have liked to have sent it to claire in oxford too but i never got round to it..
Insert picture here
I thought the list would end up with my explanations beside them like a dictionary.. one day it could be revised in that fashion. Fashion Rosie has her room below. Not directly below but still. still at the end of sentences marco taught me. not in the way just shown but in another way..
Insert picture here
Repetition. This writing I hope exerts some kind of pressure on repetiveness. The content. Is it engaging? That's for you to answer, not me. More personal? I could do. we roe oar dweerd. Hall. I would need to know the velocity. <--that one is not me either.
I saw Rosie and another time place in bath not quite in a bath. I was drunk by then. Charlie Sheppard. Charlie Sheldon. Shoes. Noses Oses Osian Sean. Se an.
Insert picture here.
I like how insert picture here looks like. like like like like. I think whoever reads this should draw what they think would be there or photgraph or philosophos phosphurus about what and why":? that why thing is too much silly to bother thinking about. In my opinion obviously. imo. is that right? wrong is right. the right wrong thing. right is wrong.
Insert picture(s) here
this feels like the list.
Perhaps read it out loud.
The rhythm
Ben, says jamie, is rhythm king but i don't think he used those words. I think i put the commas in the right place there. If not... i shall do a longer explanation. I talked one day with a man who lives near me called Jamie. I don't know where it was or what colour his shirt was but i do remember that he said to me that Ben was top at the rhythms of music. I believe him to play a stringed instrument.. that's stringed not string. I got that bit a bit bit muddled at the quiz in the porter. we won a pitcher of beer. a picture too. Hearing was not atop that night but we did manage to get some points, i read the news by accident the day before on the internet guardian. 1 point for drawing. i wanted a dance off but we had to endure about 3 rounds of flock rapier scissors. 13. Claire kidnapped karl and she was a penguin and we watched the witches and ate toast. Claire does not know how to make cheese on toast. she cooked it well. I want to investigate how that sentence would change if we put punctuation in all it's crevices but I think i'll let you savour that notion.

drawer

we are fun . It looked like we were having fun and enjoying ourselves said the man who organised the life drawing class. He enjoyed watching us draw. It reminds me and tom of the nick who says that my process is the bit with more interested attached rather than a finished product. We moved round the room and used more than one piece of paper and did some quick drawings and longer ones. Some boys on the bus were talking about the army and asking one of them if he put kisses at the end of his texts to all the girls he fancied. A pint of Old Speckled Hen was consumed in the grapes during drawings of the bar and people and conversation. It sounds like drawing on the tape i hear coming from my speakers. I thought I heard drawing on the bus today with a felt tip pen..when I turned around there was a lady filing her nails. She could have been drawing ...perhaps one will never know. It was cool and cold for lots of people. The school children got off the bus and into cars just off the motorway. There was drawing and more drawing in a room upstairs with a group of students who seemed to love it. Mandarin too. 8 seconds is a suitable amount of time to assess the essence of  a drawing and put it to surface.

bottle today i ask simon and tammy for. Neither of them have quite delivered yet.  I think it is an influence of the Wurm person artist that created the work that i looked at yesterday at Camden arts centre.. Itziar was when i saw standing with bottles against a wall. Here is a video of today... mine is a door and not a person and a wall.

'in a way'

Tony said this yesterday and it made me laugh... and some others in the room. Perhaps as i thought there was a large emphasis on it at the end of his sentence. he said something explaining his work about the idea of an artist and how his group interpreted the task and they had done it... in a way. In my mind it was amusing as it was not 'in some sense' as per the Stuart. Banu in the group i thought was saying ..what one says doesn't mean anything. This presentation stood out with a couple of others ... one which was about an 'artist' who was struggling with which direction to take, some kind of animation using an amalgamation of the four who were involved.
Nic liked my to do list and a lady said an art therapist would have a field day with it whatever that means. I could put it on here... hmm i might just do that perhaps another day..



I found a link to some sort of exhibition that me and some friendlings did do.

MAGIC

..is the radio station I am listening to.
someone sent me an email so I thought i should put it on here 

without

I am without a link to some of the exhibition stuff .. i would like to show it here but I have information that the group members might not like there to be a link here. The anonymity is an aspect which to this member is interested in. I was fishing in a magnetic fashion.

an event

it involved discussion and planning. One of the tutors explained to our team that It could be would be intriguing to see how and where it will might go. something about being mainstream at the moment. I don't know what to think of that.
I sure enjoyed being part of it... I have to reflect on my role as being part of a team .. I feel that I was an integral part of the circuit of trust... I mean to say that it could not have worked without me.. 3 of us ideas jumping all over the place..me and nic wanted the work to involve our persons in some way .. a lot of pondering.
